Macbeth and Lady Macbeth coat designer: Nic Kipar (2016)
Brief: Structured, regal coats that were both echoes of historical garments (16th century) and a fantastical, even Art Nouveau sense.
Realisation: Lady Macbeth boned bodiced coat created with tailoring techniques, and quilted snake applique. Macbeth both with snake applique. Both coats used the Tudor Tailor as a base.
Brief: Master of a uniformed order. Structured robe, almost architectural in appearance, sinister.
Realisation: Commercial Sci-Fi coat pattern base heavily altered for coat and waistcoat. Velvet, paertially quilted, with silk bands and gold hand embroidery. Handmade buttons and silk buttonloops.
Brief: Potentially for close-ups, 2nd shirt for one of the protagonists.
Realisation: Modelled on the 1st shirt that had already been made, this shirt is pre-washed linen, with hand-felled seams throughout, and hand finishing.
Brief: fairly stereotypical pirates, with a little less Hollywood and more authenticity, but easy to recognise for children visitors.
Realisation: silk (Dupion, not period authentic) breeches and waistcoat with gold lacing (mylar, not period-authentic) and silk-wrapped gold-embellished buttons. Cotton (period-authentic should have been linen) shirt and cravat. Frock coat with gold machine embroidery (not period authentic lining and coat fabric). Tricorne made from hat blank and hand embellished. Swordbelt authentic, sword authentic. Period shoes.
